Wendy Wasserstein
Our lives are not totally random. We make commitments, we cause things to happen.
Wendy Wasserstein
Sometimes I want to clean up my desk and go out and say, respect me, I'm a respectable grown-up, and other times I just want to jump into a paper bag and shake and bake myself to death.
Wendy Wasserstein
The marriages come and go but your friendships stay, which is the opposite of what it used to be, so that there will be people in our lives for 30 years and often it is not your husband, it's your women friends, male friends with whom you come of age.
Wendy Wasserstein

Wendy Wasserstein
